Veteran linebacker Jaylon Smith is participating in the Raiders’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis this weekend, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Smith has remained a free agent since the season ended.

The Steelers signed him to their practice squad Dec. 27, but he did not see any action.

He last appeared in a game in 2023 with the Raiders, getting 25 defensive snaps in one game.

The Cowboys made Smith a second-round pick in 2016 despite a serious knee injury in the Fiesta Bowl in his final game at Notre Dame. He missed all of his rookie season.
